Abstract: A system and method for using images from a commodity camera for object scanning, reverse engineering, metrology, assembly, and analysis are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes a mobile imaging system to: enable a user to align an object to be analyzed on a turntable with a stencil; issue commands, by use of a data processor, to the turntable for automatic rotation of the turntable and the object thereon to a particular orientation for a camera of a mobile imaging device; capture a plurality of images of the object being analyzed at different automatic rotations of the turntable; upload the plurality of images of the object to a server via a network interface and a data network; and cause the server to generate a three dimensional (3D) model of the object from the plurality of images of the object.
